Randy Newman - Big Hat, No Cattle Lyrics
Since I was a child
I've tried to be what I am not
I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life
I lied to my dear mother
To my sisters and my brother
Big Hat, no cattle
Big head, no brain
Big snake, no rattle
I forever remain
Big hat, no cattle
I knew from the start
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart
Oh, maybe I can
An honest man these days is hard to find
I only know we're living in an unforgiving land
And a little lie can buy some real big peace of mind
Oftimes I have wondered what might I have become
Had I but buckled down and really tried
But when it came down to the wire
I called my family to my side
Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied
Big hat, no cattle
Big shoes, well you know
Big horse, no saddle
He goes wherever I go
Big hat, no cattle
Right from the start
Big guns, no battle
Big belly, no heart
When it came down to the wire
I called my little family to my side
Stood up straight, threw my head back, and I lied, lied, lied
Lied, lied, lied
Big hat, no cattle
Big head, no brain
Big snake, no rattle
I forever remain
Big hat, no cattle
I knew from the start
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart
Big boat, no paddle
Big belly, no heart

Randy Newman Big Hat, No Cattle Comments
Somebody get me a cowboy hat, because I'm about to walk into a bar. 😎
Who else loves both this and Jurassic Park III?
This describes George W. Bush
I played this in a bar once. The bartender got the reference and we spent the next hour talking about the Jurassic Park franchise. Good times.
Wow! You must have been thinking of my brother when you wrote this song!!!
This song remember me the Spinosaurus! 😂🥀
yeah Jurassic Park III
Ice Pick, Catfish!
Two please, Cat!
Holy crap, I didn't know Randy Newman actually sung this song lol. Thought he was Disney material after Toy Story I and II and Bugs Life.
He needs a big hat
I threw back my head and I lied, lied, lied. I've loved this album since it was released in 1999.
finally a decent country song
Yes. The only good one actually.
Is this about Trump?
Close Brian but no cigar this time.
Donald J's signature song would have to be "Big Hair, No Cattle"
Brian Cahalan president Trump is awesome.
Indeed, he's one of the most awesome liars we've ever seen.
You're just upset that you aren't working illegal immigrants where you hearts content
Big threat, No wall.
ahhh... the genius. I have bought everything Rand has ever produced since his 1st, without even hearing a single track after buying his1st... this is one of my all-time favorites, this entire album, actually.
the 3 dislikes simply prove Darwin right.
peace, y'all
I remember this song playing in western county bar with my girlfriends and friends, we immediately remembered jurassic park.
Theme song for Duh Trump's Make America "Grate" Again, yes sir.
Now John you are full of *hit. What's the last charity you donated you salary to? HUH?
Jurassic Park 3, anyone
yepppppppppppp :)
Coloured'sPointlessChannel ALAN
Great scene! :)
Lmao I thought I'd be the only one
And what a perfect song to use for that scene. A song about a liar while two people lie to Dr. Grant.
i donno about this song reminds me of dirt and hot heat.
This song happens to fit Paul Kirby's masquerade in Jurassic Park III really well. All that talk about his big hat in the bar that Alan and Billy walked into when this song was playing, but no cattle to actually back it up.
What a terrible movie.
Actually, that was the whole reason it was included in the movie. Lol, back in 2001 when we were watching it the first time, we weren't supposed to catch that at first, until looking back and you are just like, the bar tried warning ya lmao
Wow, that is amazing.
Frank Burns >:(
Those key changes 👌
Excellent song.
Best song
Thanks for posting this up. I have been looking for this song ever since i heard it on Jurassic Park III. So, thanks a lot. :D
